Avo Classic No. 2
Avo Classic No. 2 uses Dominican tobacco with an oily grey-brown Ecuadoran Connecticut Shade wrapper on the dark side of Connecticut (“Help me, Obi-Won”). There are a few visible veins and barely noticeable seams.
Wood, earth, creamy sweetness, hazelnuts, mild pepper, raisins (some sort of dried fruit) but also a menthol taste I didn’t care for in the mix. There are occasional hints of chocolate or cocoa and vegetal notes.
Construction scoreboard: decent draw, could have a little less resistance for my taste, solid smoke output, the ash was a little flaky and didn’t hold well. The burn line was slightly wavy requiring a couple of touchups to even it out.
I have never been knocked out by an Avo. This one fits that experience. It’s not bad. Just not in my wheelhouse. Friends have told me Avo is a good introduction cigar for newbies. Perhaps they’re right.

(10 days ago)I've been underwhelmed by some AVO sticks I've tried, but was wowed by their Syncro Nicaragua Robusto. You may want to check that one out.
